In my house there lives an angel. She does not speak. She does not offer prophecy or ask for followers of her light. She is not dressed in a white flowering garment. She is often seen dressed in a pink sweatshirt and pants. She does not offer her blessing from a holy temple or church, but from a wheelchair. Identified as severely profoundly retarded since birth, she sits in her wheelchair and emanates unconditional love. She can not consciously move her body. She remains calm with a beautiful expression on her face inviting love. She offers communion and connection to everyone who is near.
I am privileged to see her every day. I pause from the tasks of life and she reminds me what is essential. I am always filled with joy, peace and love in her presence. She is making her contribution to the healing of humanity. In her special way she is transforming the world by bringing unconditional love to everyone. What a beautiful purpose she serves in life.
I find that my life is created by the spirit in which I respond to the world. When choosing to respond to any situation, check with your heart. Do you feel peace? Does this feel meaningful? Is there joy? Do we greet everyone with value and respect? Do we offer kindness and compassion to those in the supermarket lane? Can we retain our sense of humor in highway traffic?
I am living my life knowing that whatever good I can offer is an act of my love for life. In the end we will not ask to have more time in the office or the work setting. We will ask for more time with those we love.
Use every moment to give and receive love.
